WATCH Eliot Spitzer confront former “Saturday Night Live” double Bill Hader, right before an incredibly uncomfortable interview with Jay Leno.

As The Huffington Post pointed out, Hader used to play Spitzer back when he co-hosted (and then hosted) “Parker/Spitzer” on CNN. Sharing a moment, the two recounted how they first met during a White House Correspondent’s Dinner.

“You were shaking and quivering when I approached you,” Spitzer said.

“I’m shaking and quivering now!” Hader answered.

When she’s not looking for the secret Jewish history of Voodoo in New Orleans, or making lists about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she writes for The Assimilator. She graduated from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism with an M.S. magazine concentration in 2012.
